Thanks. I was looking at a 52 Berk Ross on ebay and there is a decently priced Sgc 84/7 but I see the the PSA 7 has gone for $200+ more than the sgc recently. Seemed a big gap to me.

If you're grading the cards for your own personal collection, go with whichever one you find more aesthetically pleasing. Some cards look better in PSA slabs, some look better in SGC slabs.
If you're grading to re-sell, the edge goes to PSA. Their slabs realize higher prices. If you're looking to buy cards already graded, go with SGC. They're grading is more consistent and their cards sell for less than they're PSA counterparts. Last edited by vintagetoppsguy; 08-30-2016 at 11:28 AM. Reason: grammatical error |

For cards I'm not planning to sell: SGC
If planning for resell PSA I personally likes SGC holder, people say newer PSA grades tougher. i think it is to some degree, I still see weak card in newer serial number as well. you can also find strong card in SGC holder in same grade at a discount customer service: SGC hands down and more consistent in grading. |

Sounds about right to me. I don't have any empirical evidence, but especially I think with more obscure sets (like Berk Ross) it's not uncommon to see the comprable SGC card priced reasonably, and the PSA card a good deal higher.

Hmmmm... The idea that PSA is a good deal higher for more obscure sets and slightly higher for 'common' sets would give quite a bit of credence to the idea that biggest draw for PSA graded cards is the registry and not necessarily the grading. Obviously 1 or 2 cards doesn't prove this, but if the trend is there, it would be a good indication that the registry is the main driver of this, and the higher prices garnered is a side effect of the registry rush.

Again, I have no proof per se - but just saying if a card or group of cards from a particular set is less commonly available than others, in general I would expect the PSA graded cards to sell for more than SGC.

I do not know what u collect But your posts are intelligent I put comments out there to get reactions I stir the pot to get people talking. If u collect to have certain cards, that is really what the hobby is all about Enjoyment. Unfortunately, it has become a money issue.. Sucks! I don't care about psa or sgc. I know the sgc president and he's a frickin great guy and fair. But if u r looking for a fair investment which any reasonable person would...sgc is probably not the way to go. I'd wait on buying sgc unless it's a super star. I took a bath on high grade sgc 88s..hall of famers like plank, lajoie recently but made great money on similar names at psa Not fair. But I would not buy a sgc card anymore unless its 50 percent less than psa smr. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

Does anyone here think SGC will ever close the gap with PSA? I buy PSA graded but submit with SGC do to the price of grading.

SGC if nothing else will maintain an even keel due to their popularity with prewar collectors and the fact that if not #1, people know they are a solid company with a good rep - and they are not hated like Beckett among vintage collectors.
